Sec. 2-23. President to decide questions of order; appeal from
decision.

The president shall decide questions of order and may, without
vacating his chair, give his reasons for his decisions.

From any decision of the chair an appeal may be made to
the city council, the question being, "Shall the decision of the
chair be sustained as the decision of the council?"

Upon such appeal no debate shall be allowed if it refers to
a question of decorum, but if it relates to the priority of business,
or to relevancy or applicability of propositions, the appeal
may be debated. (Code 1959, § 2-23.)
